PRODUCTION AND FILLING SINCE LATE AUGUST. NUMEROUS STAKE-BED 
TRUCKS, SOME CARRYING CRATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHIPMENT OF CW 
MATERIALS, HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE PROBABLE 
MUNITIONS FILLING BUILDINGS. THE PRESENCE OF A DECONTAMINATION 
VEHICLE IN THE SAME AREA SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBABLE CW MUNITIONS

HEAVIEST CW FILLING ACTIVITY NOTED AT SAMARRA SINCE THE IRAN-IRAQ 
WAR.
